I’ve sold a few forums in last few years - mainly sports ones - I thought it’d be interesting to see how they’ve all got on.

The first one I sold was WorldFootballForums.com. At the time I thought I was doing the right thing in selling as I wanted the forum ‘to be taken to the next level’. Recently the site was sold on again and now points to an online television site. The forum had quite a few members, so it’s sad to see it gone.

TheSportsForum.net now has loads of members and posts - unfortunately mostly spam. Again, very sad to see the forum in this state.

ExoticAutoTalk.com was an automotive forum that totally flopped for me. The members weren’t too friendly, so in the end I sold it on. I know the person who bought it from me made a tidy profit after converting it to the blog as it is now.

My most recent sale was EnglandFootballForum.com. I decided to sell as I needed a football forum for a more international audience. The new owner made some nice changes, unfortunately the forum appears to have stagnated. There’s now also hundreds of spam members too.

Selling WorldFootballForums.com I very much regret, but the lesson learned was that if you want a forum - or even a website - to be taken to the next level, do it yourself!
